Charles Nungesser/“Coast to Coast AM”

I don’t know if you folks are familiar with the late night radio talk show “Coast to Coast AM” with George Noory, but there’s a piece on Charles Nungesser and Francois Coli, regarding their transatlantic flight...strange.

Thanks so much, Danny! Much interest here. Here's the quote from the site you linked:

Targets: l'Oiseau Blanc & Crop Circles
Major Ed Dames has sent us material related to the Matrix Intelligence Agency's 'Magnificent Seven' current operations/targets. Pictured is the l'Oiseau Blanc (White Bird) aircraft (archival photos/ downed location map). "The French aviators, Charles Nungesser and Francois Coli, did indeed succeed in their transatlantic crossing attempt, beating Charles Lindbergh by twelve days," but their plane crashed 400 kilometers from New York, he noted. A site search and a recovery operation by his group is scheduled for September, he added.

Howdy ACC,
It’s a shame that there was no real article to be found. The site itself is not to be taken too seriously.

Did I misread anything here, or are they planning to find them and their plane? Keep us updated please, this is extremely interesting!

IIRC over the years there's been reports of Nungesser's wreckage being found from Nova Scotia to Maine. Nothing proved out.

The web site that posted this article and photo is to a late night radio program called “Coast to Coast AM” and is not to be taken too seriously. The show’s format revolves around UFOs, ghost, the supernatural and stuff like that. Actually, I was quite surprised to see this photo of Nungesser’s “White Bird” posted on this site! I think a “Remote Viewer” (what ever that is) is suppose to locate the remains of the aircraft some time soon (I’ll believe it when I see it)? And I’m certain that most of the people that tune in to this show late in the night probably wear tinfoil hats on their head while they listen. I just thought you folks would find the photo interesting.

Danny,
Sure, it is interesting, but it is a photo that has been one of the the top google links to the "l'Oiseau Blanc" for some time, not a new one of their own.

I too, will be very interested to see if they actually do use their special searching technology for Nungesser's remains in September 2006. Wonder why they are waiting 'til then if they have the capabilities now.

That a very good question, and I sure don't know? We will have to wait and see, but I wouldn't put any money on it.
